Abstract (en)

[origin: WO03092832A1] A board game permitting from one to thirty-five players includes a plurality of square playing tiles (2201-2204) in an opaque bag, and a square board (2200) on which the tiles are placed. Each tile is simultaneously an element in four distinct bi-directionally infinite arithmetic series. A player moves by placing a tile onto the board. There are nine distinct tile front surface patterns. In the preferred embodiment the pattern imprinted on the board is a macroscopic image of these nine tiles, and its mirror image is imprinted on the back surface of the tiles. In order to be played, the marking on the back surface of a tile must match the markings on the square on the board on which it is placed. The first person to play all their tiles wins; in a solitaire game, the goal is to run out placing the fewest tiles.
